HN has a time limit on how long you can edit posts after they go up - its not special its for everyone. You'd know about it but HN also has terrible design in terms of telling users what the heck is going on.
- echelon 5y agoThe post was less than five minutes old. I can still edit other posts which are older. Right now it's 19 minutes old (and uneditable), yet I can still edit a different 27 minute old comment. I crafted an edit URL for the post using its id, and I still can't edit it: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=28656231 https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=28656231
- LegitShady 5y agoI think its supposed to be 2 hours.
